Looks like the median household income is in the low 80s nowadays, from a quick Google search. If you need a snappy graphic, 50th percentile seems like a reasonable choice!

Can't wait to see the graphics for PA, I will be absolutely plastering printed copies.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Approximately 10,000 of those are your CEO being a smarmy ass hair to your user base

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review. A screenshot of a code editor. The line numbers are in the lefthand column, running from 121 to 125. There is a comment that says "Verify packages were created and check sizes" Then line 123 says echo Verifying Lambda packages were created... and Line 124 says echo checkmark emoji colon All Lambda packages verified successfully. There is no line in here that actually did anything.

can’t believe after all this time, “guerrilla public education to fight science disinfo” is what finally got me to buy printer cartridges 🖨️

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal.

If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

There’s a lot to do if/when we get past all *this*, but a requirement to run as a Democrat should be support for codifying Bivens.

(If federal officials deprive you of clearly established constitutional rights, you should have the same remedies as when Georgia or Utah officials do. Winning issue.)

I once told my former supervisor that I try to pronounce her last name (Hernandez) the way she would (silent H, tall a sound, etc) when introducing our work in talks and she seemed genuinely surprised and touched. Making people feel good feels good and I wish that wasn't a hot take for so many folks

I mean, I fully missed the hotel sign until I saw another comment pointing it out, the exact city would have been impossible for me to guess. Still a good game to play with oblivious people like me!

The hotel sign narrows down the city for sure, but I clocked Japan generally from the Boss Coffee sign. (I've heard it's abominable)

Working in a coffee shop one table over from a pair of apparent tradwives discussing progress on "training" their children to recite Bible chapters on demand

But no, definitely not a cult

Owning a home comes with many hidden costs. In addition to the regular expense of a mortgage, taxes, and utilities, you will also need to spend $20 at the hardware store every single day for the rest of your life

Almost forgot the 🔭!

A small art supply store in my town has/had a Little Free Art Library, and it absolutely needs to be a thing everywhere! Take and leave tiny paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc

If you repeat the phrase "Medicaid work requirements" — even if you think you're being clever with something like "medicaid work requirements don't work" — you're helping MAGA destroy Medicaid. Don't repeat their disinformation frame.

Instead, reframe: Medicaid Job Loss Penalty

"every unfairly fired Federal employee rehired *with back pay* is probably the thing id promise and do

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”
